Macaroni and 'Cheese'

We like the sauce on fresh noodles without the bread crumbs, but either way it is healthy and delicious. Children enjoy this meal!

INGREDIENTS:

¼ c. carrots chopped

1/3 c. onion chopped

1 c. red potatoes chopped

Steam the vegetables covered in a ½ inch of water until softened about 10 minutes. Then drain and put vegetables in a blender.

Then add:

1 Tb. lemon juice fresh squeezed

¼ tsp. Dijon mustard

¼ tsp. minced garlic

¼ c. raw cashews

1 tsp. salt

1/3 c. earth balance (butter substitute. Buy at Whole Foods, Sunflower Market, Good Earth)

Blend with the steamed vegetables until creamy.

1, 8 oz. package whole wheat macaroni cooked according to package directions.

½ c. whole wheat bread crumbs

1 tsp. paprika

Pour cooked macaroni into a baking dish and pour sauce over the top. Top the macaroni and cheese with bread crumbs and paprika. Bake 350 for 30 minutes.
